1st my name is juan i am new here.
i already did the steps One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-06
and was able to Booting into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
i download cyanogenmod 7 and try to run it but after everything is done
i get the cyanogenmod 7 reboot loop, also i was able to restore back to
the way i had it. i am a total noob at this, so i can use ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 does that mean i root my cell or not. i also download super user.
i tried to root my self since SuperOneClick v2.1.1 did not work for me since it always froze on step 6.i would love any help i can get to root my phone and be able to use apps such as Titanium Backup/super user or rom manger.
thanks for you time
Did you clear the Dalvik cache and do a factory reset? If not you will most likely get a reboot loop. You should format the system, user area and Dalvik cache any time you change roms, or the loop is likely. Try again but zap everything first. Good luck.
OK I did as you said it works fine now I have super user and rom manager working without it saying I need a rooted device. Now I am back to my default for the main reason that I didn't have my apps,android market,contacts and I could not connect to my T-Mobile network.I read I can use titanium backup for but I can't since it tells me I need a root my device. Anything I can do about this?
Should I installl the P999_2.3.3_Stock_OTA.zip I found on this forum would that give me root access sorry for the noon questions and thanks for helping me on this.

If you install CM 7 it is already rooted. You an also install the pre-rooted OTA and it will be rooted. I suggest just starting over, logging into Google and reinstalling all your apps. I have had bad luck and near disasters trying to use Titanium backup to restore settings on other devices. It only takes about an hour to redo everything on Android.
i would like my phone to be rooted and not lose or have to reinstall everything i am still trying SuperOneClick v2.1.1 but i finally got pass step 6 and am now stuck on step 7 >,<

Super One Click doesn't work. Google closed the exploits that made it possible in new Gingerbread builds. I have been working on a way to do it without having to redo everything but so far it is not working. Hopefully soon. Will post something when and if I get it working.
thats to bad v,v i got to step 7 using this
if you are having the remounting failed problem then try doing this (credit to g0mezz http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3995974) :
1. Download SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
2. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
3. (In Windows 7, but for Win XP you can use "Command prompt here" or similar) Go to the ADB folder inside the SuperOneClick folder, hold down shift and right click from the ADB folder, click on "Open command window here", than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, leave it like that.
4. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running gingerbreak do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
Disclaimer: YMMV, i tried this on a gingerbread P500 after trying every other option and failing, and finally rooted using this method.

2.3.3 doesnt have a root working thru one click u need to do the nvflashrecovery process and have the prerooted rom on your phone to flash after you get the recovery on your phone. So i'd start over get the rom you want dl it to your phone then follow the nvflashrecovery process. After its done acsess it and follow the steps on flashing the rom you downloaded. If the market doesnt let you download anything do this go settings-> manage apps-> click all apps-> scroll down to market-> wipe data. This should allow you to reinstall your apps
I already can root my.phone but I still don't want to lost my contacts or data which is why I went back to default instead of staying in weapon g2x mod.

Rooting my G2x (got CWM working already)
Hello everyone! Big time noob here, and was hoping to have some questions answered regarding rooting a G2x that came with Gingerbread (2.3.3) stock. I searched and read quite a few threads, which answered a lot, but a few questions still stuck out. Any help is very much appreciated!
My process so far was to start at this thread. That referred me to TGA_Gunnman's guide on flashing CWM (via Nvflasher) at this thread. That worked well, and I'm able to boot into CWM. So far so good, but here's where the questions come in.
In TGA_Gunnman's guide, there's a link saying to view the Getting Started Guide located at this thread. That Getting Started Guide links back to the "CWM via Nvflasher" guide, so I performed those steps as mentioned earlier (step 2.1 in the Getting Started Guide). Then it says to install ROM Manager (step 2.2) and so on to create backups. Hmm...
From the first thread I linked, and some other threads, it looks like once I have CWM bootable using the Power/Volume Down button method, I just need to clear data/caches and then flash the rooted ROM of my choice. Please chime in if this is incorrect (though from the replies in the thread, my understanding seems correct).
(Q1) Using this method, is there any way to perform an initial backup (Titanium, etc)? It doesn't seem like it, and I'd hate to lose all my apps and have to reinstall/configure, but it's not that big of a deal. (I did a Nandroid backup via CWM already, as detailed in step 4 of the Getting Started Guide.) I see some folks in this thread recommended just re-installing the apps, which is not out of the question. Just thought that if a backup/restore was possible, it might be worth a try.
(Q2) I have to ask: what ROM(s) do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any help and information you can provide!
Oh I can help I just had the same problem OK you can do the following 1st make sure u have a SD card one big enough I have a 8gb next you can back up apps, contacts and settings using antivirus pro u can just Google the apk n install it.I didn't want to change much in my phone so I just download Gingerbread 2.3.3 rom
Then restore my apps then my contacts and such.
Stuff u need
Antivirus pro-for backup
Rom of ur choice
Androzip- to install apk if u dl antivirus pro apk
This is the rom I used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
You may use whatever rom u want
Now 1st u use antivirus pro to back up apps and contacts then you can install your rom when done you can use androzip to explore your SD card and find the antivirus pro apk install then restore you apps and contacts sadly the apps lose all data so that means new game n such I hope this long explanation helped I just learned this today ..
Other roms

I tried this process, and it worked perfectly! I got BusyBox installed, and Titanium Backup running. If nothing else, this will let me backup my system and then I can flash a ROM and restore those settings.

sorry for noobish question but i have a g2x 2.3.3 i want to root it.I have never done nothing to the rom or anything so im guessing its stock rom. I been reading and searching and i fount this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214 but im not sure if thats where i should start anny suggestions?
Yes that thread will do it. I outlined it very clearly. Step 1 install recovery and so on. Just read carefully and follow the steps.
Hi,
I dont know if am being really stupid or not but this is my first android device and first time rooting.( i have searched for hours now trying to find an answer)
So i am trying to root my Lg G2x running GB 2.3.3 using this link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
so as of now i am on Step 2...what i dont get is when i click the link on step 2 it says to download ALL of these NVIDIA drivers and everything. All i did was downlooad the One Click CWM
Another thing this link does is send me to ANOTHER link saying that you have to ROOT first?
So from my previous knowledge i thought you could only "flash" the CWM if you were already root ( or maybe thats only for the ROMs)
alright then if thats the case...the directions of the original link just says to download and unzip...but do i put that root folder onto my phone(i read this from another link that someone else posted about)..The reason i am asking this question is because when i tried to go to Step 3 it said to Hold Volume and Power to boot CWM but nothing happened obivously bc 1. the directions say to plug the phone into computer at like step5 and 2. the files are on the computer
So in conclusion i guess i am just trying to make sure that i dont brick my phone by asking these lame questions
1. do i have to take those unzipped files and put them onto my Phone( more specifally, my sd card or phone?)
2. What about for the CWM download.. do i just download the One Click thing and ignore the other directions??
You have to do the one click thing first to install Clockwordmod with NVFlash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Then you boot into Clockwordmod Recovery and run my booting zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
In that thread just download the root zip and put it on your sd card or in the internal memory of your phone. Flash the CWM recovery and then boot into Clockworkmod Recovery by holding down volume down and power until fancy LG logo shows (about ten to fifteen seconds). Find the menu option to flash a zip from sd card or internal memory (wherever you put my rooting zip). Select it, flash it and reboot when finished.
Presto. Done. You are now rooted.
THANK YOU!!!
I GOT IT YAY i AM ROOTEd
i was just overreading and kept reading every word on the posts lol when all i had to do was follow the APX driver installation, FLASH the cWM , and then BOOT IT!!!

Flashing CWM and rebooting does not root your phone. You have to flash the root zip also, or flash a rooted rom.

The original thread for the one-click flasher in the development section is one of the best step by step posts ever made on XDA. It even has a link for a video tutorial. If you cannot follow that then I suggest you stop trying to root your phone. There is no reason for anyone to make another step by step guide. To find the thread try the search button. There are also links to it in numerous other threads.
Are their roms on here that are bug free and stable for daily drivers?
Im coming over here from a HD2 which is not a native android phone. And I didnt mind the bugs in android.
But now I have a g2x and it is bug free though I really wish it had 2.3.5 but oh well this phone is still bad ass.
So what im wondering if I should just root to keep it stock and do lil mods or flash the whole cwm Process so I have a back up. If I ever need it.
Thanks in advance.

I've kept mine stock for that reason, but I did root it. After experiencing custom roms on my Nexus One, A71 variant and others, I would have to say the frustrations stuff being perpetually broken, bugs and the monotony of daily flashing (CM7 just never stops) whatever small benefits the custom roms have (i.e., eye candy, additional settings, etc.) is just not worth the frustration and danger of soft-bricking the phone (I have hard bricked one also) to me. My Nexus One (gave one to wife when I got the G2X but then got another one at a steal) has gone through updates to 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 (yesterday). These updates seem to be mostly internal fixes for stuff. The average user (or even advanced) is not going to notice any difference in using the rom. The only exception to that is that in 2.3.4 Google removed the need to log back into your Gmail account(s) after changing sims. They said that was a minor benefit at a greater annoyance and the "feature" most complained about by world travelers. Other than that the Google apps get updated and even 2.2 devices are basically running the same Google apps as 2.3.X. So based on what you said above, I would suggest keeping it stock and simply rooting it. You definitely want to change recovery to Clockworkmod to make backups and the fact that going into stock recovery on this device does a factory reset (how stupid was that LG).

Thanks J you have been very helpful in my transition from hd2 to g2x"im still flashing hd2 I love playing with sense 3.0 and 3.5" But this phone is amazing. Ive rooted it and added cwm but have not flashed any cutom rome I like stability over newest features.
Is 2.3.3 the most recent update for our Phones?
Yes and we're darn lucky we have 2.3.3. No other 2X variant worldwide has received any update love from LG. They are all still on 2.2.x. Lawsuit in U.S. seems to be what forced LG into releasing the G2X GB update.

Hey J
If this is the wrong place to ask please pm me but, would you mind letting me know what tweaks you have done "if any" you have done to your stock rom?
As the title says, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint's variation. I rooted my phone when it was on the version before Gingerbread EL29. I used the SuperOneClick method to root my phone and after doing that, 'Superuser' was installed on my phone. Everything was going fine until I accidentally updated my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 EL29 via Sprint's over-the-air update. I know it sounds dumb from me but I really knew that if I updated my phone I could mess up my root privileges, but that pop up update was showing up each 5 minutes, that in one of them I accidentally pressed 'install'. Now I have tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick but 'Superuser' is still there and when I access an app that requires root privileges like 'Wireless Tether' it says that my phone is not rooted. I also tried to do a factory reset and root again with 'SuperOneClick' but it freezes up (I guess it's because 'Superuser' is still there?) I was also thinking on installing a rooted rom but I don't know if I can install custom roms (I don't know if I have CWM and if it will mess up because I'm not rooted?..) Right now I just want to get the latest rooted stable release possible.. Sorry for extending myself but I wanted to give all the important details as possible as I am new in handling root phones and also in this forum. I will appreciate any help, thanks!

Want to get my Infuse rooted and upgraded to either ICS or Jelly Bean.
I got the official GB update because phone was lagging. Some improvements but still lagging.
So I'm doing my research to find out, that it seems, I can't root GB and then upgrade to ICS/JB. That I would have to downgrade to froyo first.
So I've downloaded the Odin zip file and everything is ready, I'm just a few clicks away from doing the process I got from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
Then I do some more research and notice this Hemdaill version.
Anyway bottom line, I want to avoid bricking my phone or any other catastrophe.
So my questions are(sorry for the wait):-
- Should I just go ahead with the instructions in the above link to go back to froyo before thinking about flashing a ROM for ICS/JB?
- If I go ahead with the above, can I go straight from froyo to ICS/JB or do I have to get GB first?
- Is there are a superoneclick root for GB on Infuse, and if so would I be able to upgrade to ICS/JB?
- I'll take any tips or recommendations. That's basically all I have to ask.
Yeah this is exactly what I used about 4 months ago. It was the first time I've ever tried something like this. It was SUPER easy, just follow the directions and then flash whatever you want.

Back to stock BUT with a few problems
Since I'm new I can't comment on the original's page where I got the process from.
Problems:
- I used the rooted version that was listed in the download. I have the SuperUser app icon. It opens. But I cannot delete apps that came with the phone. Will do a bit more research.
- Wifi is not working. Won't even try to connect. Maybe the SuperUser needs an internet connection, I don't know, research will ensue.
- At the risk of sounding even more like a noob, I will go do some more research but please responses are welcome.
If the above Odin worked. It should have installed a stock Gingerbread experience... WiFi/data/gps etc... Should work just fine.
Superuser only allows apps to gain special permissions to access new features... One app for example that is useful is Rom Manager that can install CWM recovery thus allowing you to flash ICS, then JB... Another useful app is Titanium Backup which will allow you to uninstall /backup/restore any app...
The easiest way from here is to read the OP for cm10. It has a link for a Odin recovery process (which has instructions for getting CWM using SGS kernel flasher), then a link for ICS. Then you can get Jelly Bean...
Remember that three finger method to get into CWM (hold vol +/- and power)
Edit: theoretically all you need is ICS CWM recovery to flash JB... Once you have that. You're good to go. Read EVERYTHING before doing something silly.

Thanks for the tips.
I flashed again but **** before it did not auto reboot like it says it would and it was also checked in Odin to do that.
Anyway what I did was through the recovery mode I basicalky factoryvreset the phone, all the data all the cache and reinstalled the packages that was an option as well. Hell I chose everything. But it's working now, and it's a bit late.
Don't know if I want to try flashing to ICS while ai'm a bit groggy.
But thanks everybody for the tips and to the OP developer.
Xda always a big help.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BRICKED PHONE
Nobody has seemed to post a Guide for this device on xda so might as well!
I think the Ally came Froyo 2.2 but we are at 2.2.1 right now so it should still work.
List
#1: Rooting
#2: Custom Recovery
#3: Flashing Custom Roms
#4: Unroot
#5: Some Roms
Rooting
#1: So ye want to root eh? lets get down to the basics...Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights to the phone so one can do customizations that aren't normally allowed. Rooting can make your piece of junk phone into a beautiful artwork, basic root user can still use many useful things such as, Custom boot animations, the use of a PS3 Controller (Not sure who would use a Ps3 controller on a ally but who am i to judge xD) for Games or Emulators to play some of the good ol days of Nintendo, you are also able to use a wii mote BUT does not require root. we are also able to uninstall all the bloatware the carriers puts onto the phone like Facebook or some other stupid app you don't use. Flashing custom Roms, say you aren't liking the normal Stock features your phone comes with you are able to change the OS, a higher Android version or maybe a port of a different ROM.
Rooting Instructions:
YOU ARE GOING TO NEED A MICRO SDCARD ANY SIZE (2gig preferred)
1. Turn on USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and turn on Unknown Sources in (Settings - Applications) you can turn this off if you want to when we are done rooting
2. Method one: Tap this link from your phone GingerBreak and download the apk named "GingerBreak-v1.20.apk" in the second post. (be sure to hit the thanks button for Chainfire on the thread )
3. Download a file explorer from the play store such as androzip, astro file manager or if in your status bar tap the file when its done and install it
4. Method Two: you are also able to put the apk file onto your phone from your computer using your usb charger. just drag and drop onto your micro sdcard and install a file manager that will install apks.
5. Open the app and tap the root button to start the root process, It can take around 10 minutes, and will restart automatically when complete, if attempt fails, restart phone manually & run it again. Slam bam in a can, you got root!
Custom Recovery
#2 Congratulations on rooting your phone! Now to check if we have root for sure, check your apps drawer for a new app called SU or Superuser (if you don't have this retry Gingerbreak). if so go to the play store and search for a app called root checker (you may remove once done with it). open the app and tap verify root, if something pops up tap allow and theirs your proof of root. Now before we start flashing goodies and roms onto our phone we need to get a custom recovery. for this guide we are going to use Clockwork Mod but if you want to use twrp or amon-ra recovery go for it, my good friend venkat kamesh has given us a link to both twrp and amon-ra check out the second post. Go to the play store once again and download a app called Rom Manager, tap recovery setup, select the first option (install or update recovery) look for your phone model (should be LG VS740 or LG ally) and let it install and reboot.
1. Method one: back at the main menu tap reboot into recovery (if you want a little simpler method skip to step 4)
2. use the volume buttons to move and send button to select and make a backup of your stock ROM to your micro sdcard.
3. Method two: in Rom Manager here is a option to make a backup from here i don't use it but i guess it gets the job done.
WARNING DO NOT FACTORY RESET FROM THE ANDROID SETTINGS IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE USE ONLY CUSTOM RECOVERY WIPE DATA
Flashing Custom Roms
#3 Flashing roms can be done from Rom Manager but i will be showing you how to flash them from Recovery. download the ROM you want FOR YOUR PHONE ONLY (JUST BECAUSE THE ROM YOU WANT HAS SIMILAR SPECS TO YOUR PHONE OR SAME PHONE BUT FOR DIFFERENT CARRIER IT DOES NOT MATTER YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE </3) and get into recovery mode from Rom Manager. if you haven't made a backup make one now. once your done with backing up your stock, select wipe data, next select flash zip from SD Card and look for where you put the rom you downloaded onto your rom and congratulations you have Flashed your ROM! if your Rom comes with a gapps, you flash it after you flash your ROM so you have working Google apps such as the market and several other things but not all ROMs require them. (most likely only android 4.x.x roms)
Unroot
#4 You can only unroot if you get back to your Stock backup or you are on stock, Either SuperSU or Superuser should have the option to fully unroot.
Stock recovery (only use this when you are on rooted stock)

Can you add my ROM to the list: http://link.tapatalk.com/api/click?...rs.com&subid=cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da
Thanks.

Thanks for adding it so quickly! My ROM is not the best LG Ally ROM, but it runs. It is basicly if LG had made Android 2.3.4 for the LG Ally. Just with a few bugs. WARNING: Camera flash does not work.

Of course, i read over it before adding it, ill have to try it myself.
Any of these roms still out there.
I Just wrote a huge explanation of why I was looking for some of these roms, but when i pecked" the "post reply" The thread told me game-over, and I respawned with a fresh new palette. :/
It would be well appreciated if someone could hook me up with the necessities to OTA and rom this (aloha). I can't find anything, anywhere...
I was fortunate enough to find a CWM image and velocity rom when i first got this from the good ole granny awhile back, but long story short, I no longer have them in my collection.
So I'm currently stuck at
2.2.1 ------Android version
FRG83D --Build (whatever that means)
2.6.32.9 ---Kernel
And I'm not sure if I messed it up flashing the wrong roms without doing the OTA, but it doesn't seem to be functioning properly, or as proper as i'd like it to...
If I could get ahold of some lightweight roms, supporting gapps, (and preferably oc'd), as well as the stock necessities to OTA this thing and make it decent again I would be overjoyed , I realize i could be just wasting my time but worth a try, (i hate to see such a nice keyboard go in the garbage. : D)
I basically either want to make this thing into either a handheld gaming emulator for the younger gen relatives (If that's' even a possibility), or just settle with an ip webcam///tinyCam pro app, to scare off all of the future nasty intruders that may come along someday .
If anyone has anything they could somehow get to me, it would be much appreciated.
If not then I guess i'm stuck dinking with my dualboot oneplus 2 chrooted with nethunter.
but of course... even that has no keyboard.

I could be wrong, but usually with older phones, You want to flash to the highest OTA that you can get to, because you did that it updates to the highest supported (optimized) radio and kernel, i believe the reason for doing this is that all roms higher or at the OTA build level use those assets but dont install them if you flash a rom that way, if you think its not functioning properly, its either the rom itself or as you said didnt flash properly, honestly i havent done anything android related in a very long time, the best advice i can throw at you is using a different rom, the only rom i would probably think you should use is the velocity rom really, You wouldnt want to do any overclocking on it, i know for sure it wouldnt give any performance improvement. i was also a little confused by what you wanted in your post.

Lack of OTA is probably my problem then.
I'm constantly getting an ota update notification, but currently have cwm installed with root.
I might have a stock backup somewhere, but I believe i'd have to take off cwm and root in order to get the necessary ota for velocity rom to run correctly.
Although i may be wrong.
I guess what i'm asking for is, if anyone might have one or all of the following
stock-recovery.img
velocity rom
Amonra or CWM
and whether or not they could dig it up without too much hassle.
I know it's old stuff, so i'm not too worried about it if it's not available anymore. No biggy really.
Thanks for the reply and explanation btw, needed a bit of a refresher
